73-27 Statement of Purpose
The Mayor and Council of the Borough of Mendham are concerned with the negative impacts of white-tailed deer and have found that the increase in the white-tailed deer population causes a public health nuisance which is inimical to the health and general welfare of the public. The borough has, therefore, established a Deer Management Program pursuant to an agreement with the State of New Jersey, Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife, which includes culling of the deer population by authorized agents of the borough, promotion of hunting as regulated by the State of New Jersey and live trapping and transfer of white-tailed deer. It is the purpose of this article to prevent such conduct which would interfere with the Deer Management Program established by the Borough and which may attract white-tailed deer to properties in the Borough.

A. No person shall feed, cause to be fed or provide food for white-tailed deer anywhere in the borough, either on public or private property.

A. No person shall conduct himself or herself in a manner that interferes or has the effect of interfering with any authorized agent of the borough conducting deer management activities.
